The concerts by The Eagles, Dixie Chicks and Keith Urban scheduled for June 14 at Citizens Bank ball park in Philadelphia and June 15 at Hershey Stadium in Hershey have been canceled, the groups and promoter Live Nation has announced.

None of the announcements gave a reason for the cancelation, but said full refunds will be available at place of purchase.

The Eagles

Earlier, the tour’s show in Washington, D.C., also had been canceled without explanation. That means three of the eight scheduled shows now are off. The combined tour is to kick off June 8 in Toronto.

The closest the show now will play to the Lehigh Valley will be June 10 at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

The Dixie Chicks

The tour was announced with fanfare in March, noting that it was the first time the three acts would play together.

Urban still is scheduled to play at Allentown Fair grandstands on Sept. 3.

Would have loved to see Urban again and The Eagles. Wouldn't buy the tickets since the chicks were on the venue.

O My! What did we, the citizens of PA, do to offend them? Must be Lou Barletta's fault. What a horrible loss.

horrid ticket sales, no one wants to pay 80 bucks to see a hasbeen band, a lesbian country act with an australlian queer on the bill

Uh, Rushbo, I'm not a fan of theirs, but all of the Dixie Chicks have children or have/had husbands. So, at the very least, they're switch hitters. Agree with you about ticket sales though.

Correction: that was Laughing Out Loud's post I was referring to.

I love the Eagles...but unfortunately, I think that Don Henley's ego got in the way of the Promoters doing their job. It's too bad...I think Joe Walsh should hit the road as a solo artist. He was whoI was going to really see anyway.

JOHN J. MOSER has been around long enough to have seen the original Ramones in a small club in New Jersey, U2 from the fourth row of a theater and Bob Dylan's born-again tours. But he also has the number for All-American Rejects' Nick Wheeler on his cell phone, wrote the first story ever done on Jack's Mannequin and hung out in Wiz Khalifa's hotel room.

OTHER CONTRIBUTORS

JODI DUCKETT: As The Morning Call's assistant features editor responsible for entertainment, she spends a lot of time surveying the music landscape and sizing up the Valley's festivals and club scene. She's no expert, but enjoys it all — especially artists who resonated in her younger years, such as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Tracy Chapman, Santana and Joni Mitchell.

KATHY LAUER-WILLIAMS enjoys all types of music, from roots rock and folk to classical and opera. Music has been a constant backdrop to her life since she first sat on the steps listening to her mother’s Broadway LPs when she was 2. Since becoming a mother herself, she has become well-versed on the growing genre of kindie rock and, with her son in tow, can boast she has seen a majority of the current kid’s performers from Dan Zanes to They Might Be Giants.

STEPHANIE SIGAFOOS: A Jersey native raised in Northeast PA, she was reared in a house littered with 8-tracks, 45s and cassette tapes of The Beatles, Elvis, Meatloaf and Billy Joel. She also grew up on the sounds of Reba McEntire, Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw and can be found traversing the countryside in search of the sounds of a steel guitar. A fan of today's 'new country,' she digs mainstream/country-pop crossovers like Lady Antebellum and Sugarland and other artists that illustrate the genre's diversity.
